Tarragon, Are You a Wild Boar?
A Poem by Vi Khi Nao
Tarragon, are you a wild boar?
My friend, lemon zest, has not been that
Thyme, Cognac, falooda glass noodle
These things prowl the night without cape
Gooseberries or bacalao
Tarragon, are you a wild boar?
Each time I eat you, I stop breathing
Little owl, where is your happiness?
Wake up + make people believe
In you, gastrique + steaklette
Is that chive embarrassed?
To be with the savoy cabbage?
Tarragon, are you a wild boar?
I was born female, hyper-focused
Let me trim your skirt, halibut
It’s dragging salt against my oregano
Buttered by butter in no butter
Tarragon, are you a wild boar?
It’s too bad the caper isn’t wearing
A cape when the Peruvian potatoes
Are sitting on a bed of coals while
Floating down a river coconut
On the verge of falling off
A truffle, which is a
Shadow floating inside of a shadow
Arctander
Tarragon (estragon) is a colorless, or very pale yellow to greenish-yellow liquid, with a sweet-anisic, green-spicy, slightly celery-like odor, very similar to that of the fresh herb.
The flavor of this oil is sweet and slightly spicy-aromatic, reminiscent of anise and basil with that faint celery note.
Tarragon (Estragon) is used perfumery, usually in trace amounts, in chypre, l’origan types, fougères, lilac bases, green floral bases, etc.
Blends well with galbanum, lavender, vanilla, clove, oakmoss etc
The flavor is extensively used in liquors and to replace the herb in commercial canning production.
